Wendover Results
In ASP, Saturday ... Ken, Jason I, Henry, Stacey Mollocker ... with Ken and Henry only getting their morning runs in. A short circuit cut out half of the cylinders when they tried to do their second set of runs? Fixed now. Six drivers in ASP ... they got their class.
Any other results trickling in?

Re: Wendover Results
Apparently James didn't even have a matching set of tires for the Escort ... Nitto's in front and Falken's in the back! Drove it all the way from Houston.
Ken/Jason U/Henry left before the SuperC

Re: Wendover Results
yeah, his main competitors in class coned out, which gave him the top qualifier spot. James drove very well, but the car seemed to be leaking sand everywhere, haha.Mako Koiwai wrote:Apparently James didn't even have a matching set of tires for the Escort ...

Re: Wendover Results
It had to be transition hell looking at STS civics compared to the rally cars. Remember 4100ft elevation and pro solo starts. An evo or STI should have spanked a wheezing civie by days.

No straights, but no slow turns, all slaloms of one type or another with a turn around, on concrete.Steve Ekstrand wrote:It had to be transition hell looking at STS civics compared to the rally cars.

Re: Wendover Results
McCormick is pretty good at those left right left right left right things.
I wonder if Andy has his car too loose for such a course?

Looked like Andy was on the wrong tire. McCormick went to a hot new wheel tire combo.Steve Ekstrand wrote:McCormick is pretty good at those left right left right left right things.

Re: Wendover Results
I know the Kumhos are persona non grata for the solo stuff, but wasn't sure if either Kevin was just doing it anyway or if the Pro was different.
So what size dunlops and what happen to Kevin and Kumho.

Re: Wendover Results
I'd guess they'd be letting him off the hook for the year since they didn't get thier tires in gear quick enough.. Dunno the size, but i think it was on a tall wheel.Steve Ekstrand wrote:I know the Kumhos are persona non grata for the solo stuff, but wasn't sure if either Kevin was just doing it anyway or if the Pro was different.

Re: Wendover Results
Wow, just saw Andy's post on SCCAforums.
It was a 215-40-17 front and 195-55-15 rear.
That's a hugely tall tire and a heavier package for the civie. Really surprised it didn't throughly kill acceleration especially at altitude where one of the hot rodders tricks is to run a SHORTER tire.
Interesting.... Crap, and expensive to chase.

Re: Wendover Results
How do the dunlaps like slippery stuff or cold?
Just wondering if hot concrete is the ticket for Dunlops or something.

Found some wheels.
Where do I get Dunlops? And what do they like for shaving? 4/32nds?

Re: Wendover Results
My tire guy is Luke at the Tire Rack - he got us the last living set of Dunlops in our size in the country (we think)! He had them shipped from their warehouses all over to their Indy warehouse where they got shaved - we do 4/32ndths but they do wear a LOT faster than the Yok's, so it'll depend on what you're looking for...
Anyhow, Luke is a super good guy - he'll hook ya up
